However, business confidence has now picked up greatly and many employers are now recruiting. If you’re having trouble finding a job after university during the Covid pandemic, please read on.

Finding A Job After University During The Covid Pandemic

What is a graduate job?

A graduate job is a permanent position for a candidate with a degree. The role usually offers formal training to build your career progression in your chosen field.

As these roles are only open to university leavers, they offer a higher salary than entry-level jobs open to candidates without a degree.

Graduate jobs are permanent roles but don’t insist on the same level of commitment as graduate schemes which often last 2 years. Graduate schemes typically have a once-a-year intake and there is a very high level of competition for places. Graduate jobs become available throughout the year when companies require candidates.

How do you get a graduate job?

It pays to stand out from the crowd when looking for a graduate job as there are many university leavers looking for a job shortly before or after graduation.

  • Review all your social media accounts and make sure they look professional. Update your LinkedIn profile with your qualifications and experience.
  • Upload your up-to-date CV to job sites such as Indeed.com
  • Use a recruitment agency that offers graduate jobs, such as 2i Recruit.
  • Make yourself more employable by doing some voluntary work, gaining work experience or taking an online course to gain professional skills, such as presentation skills.
  • Stay motivated while jobs searching and allocate a few hours a day to this task.
